Israeli official: Netanyahu decides to confront Biden. US intelligence community's assessment was that the lack of confidence in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ability to rule was deepening among Israelis.
Israeli Channel 12 quoted a senior Israeli official as saying that Netanyahu was angry because of the US intelligence report (CIA), which indicated the possibility of him losing power. American media quoted Biden as saying there is no specific date yet for the meeting with Netanyahu, and that Biden currently has no plans to deliver a speech before the Israeli parliament.
